The reason Obama and democrats want health care is to skim it. Get the
income flow to the government then dumb down services. For the idiot sheeples that follow big mouth Obama remember, Canadians too have to pay big time. Williams, a premier with means uses the US for surgery as his own province and country is clearly inferior. Then this... the truth... Government health care sucks! And try to find a basic family physician where I live, freaking near impossible. For Obama and democrats, it is about the revenue stream. They want the health care money in government pockets, then dumb down the services and government profits. A sneaky way to make you more dependant on government and tax you more. Don't let Obama's watered down BS fool you, make sure November 2010 counts and get rid of corrupt congressional idiots and the corrupted senators. The money is better in your pocket spent on a boat employing people and not government statism and marxism. ---- http://www.calgarysun.com/news/canad.../13138731.html Sick man faces bankruptcy — or death Cancer patient must pay for drug needed to keep him alive Kent Pankow lives in Edmonton, in a province and a country that is trying to either kill him or bankrupt him. No sense mincing words. Suffering from brain cancer, Kent Pankow was literally forced to go to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. for lifesaving surgery — at a cost to family and friends of $106,000 — after the health-care system in Alberta left him hanging in bureaucratic limbo for 16 crucial days, his tumour meanwhile migrating to an unreachable part of the brain, while it dithered over his case file, ultimately deciding he was not surgery worthy. Now, with the Mayo Clinic having done what the Alberta Cancer Board wouldn’t authorize or even explain, but with the tumour unable to be totally removed, the province will now not fund the expensive drug, Avastin, that the Mayo prescribed to keep him alive and keep the remaining tumour from increasing in size — despite the costs of the drug being totally funded by the province for other forms of cancer. Kent Pankow, as it turns out, has the right disease but he has it in the wrong place. Had he lung cancer, breast cancer, or colon cancer, then the cost of the drug — $4,555 per treatment, two times a month — would be totally covered by Alberta’s version of OHIP. But he doesn’t. And so he is not only a victim of brain cancer, he is also a victim of arbitrary discrimination. Full disclosure. Kent Pankow, a 40-year-old Red Seal sous chef, is a son of the man who married the spouse of my late brother. And it was while vacationing with them at their winter home in Los Cabos, Mexico, recently that this story began to unfold back in their home province of Alberta. But do not think, even for a moment, that this could never happen in Toronto or other parts of Ontario. Our supposedly universal federal health care system, the pride of most Canadians and the political struggle of America, is only as good as the length of the waiting line and whether you have the right disease at the right time. After writing more than 150 letters to everyone from the prime minister to virtually all health authorities both federal and provincial, and being ignored in return, Kent Pankow’s wife, Deborah Hurford, decided to finally go public. CTV Edmonton did a major feature on the family’s plight on the 6 o’clock news and, almost before the program ended, Alberta’s health and wellness minister, Gene Zwozdesky, was on the phone to their home — ensuring himself some positive press in the followup that aired later that night. Then, when he heard the Pankows had filed a human rights complaint against the province, justifiably citing medicare-based discrimination, Zwozdesky suddenly went mute — stating he could no longer discuss the matter publicly. Ten years ago, when first diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme brain tumour (GBM), Kent Pankow was given five years to live. After beating it down once, however, with his first surgery having been performed in Alberta, he spent nearly seven years in remission until the cancer’s return in 2008. And he is not prepared to give up. “He’s a fighter,” says his wife, admitting, however, that the cost of the drug has been a significant drain on friends and family who have not only donated large sums of their own money, but have also organized fundraisers to keep hope alive, including school penny drives. “When Kent goes for his Avastin IV injection, he sits next to patients who receive the same drug for free because they have another type of cancer — like colon cancer,” Hurford says. “Brain tumour patients deserve the same rights as other cancer patients, including access to the same lifesaving treatments — and without additional costs. “I can’t begin to tell you how frustrated, angry, disgusted and appalled I am with both the Alberta health system and the individuals within the system who continue to perpetuate such an archaic and inhumane approach to the treatment of patients.” she says. “It seems like they are doing everything in their power to ensure that Kent succumbs to an early and unnecessary death.” “The Avastin is working. The size of the remaining tumour has remained static since October,” she says. “But how can anyone afford almost $10,000 a month for a drug — even if it is saving a loved one’s life?” When Alberta health minister Gene Zwozdesky called the Pankow home on the night CTV Edmonton aired its story, he purportedly blamed the feds, namely Health Canada, for deciding what drugs are covered, and for what. Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq, however, in a letter to Deborah Hurford, wrote that “while Health Canada is responsible for the market authorization of drug products, the province and territorial governments are responsible for managing the list of drugs for which public reimbursement from government drug plans is available.” This, too, is passing the buck. What Aglukkaq would not explain to Hurford — citing confidentiality — was why Avastin received a notice of compliance from Health Canada for other forms of cancer, but not yet for brain cancer as in the United States. Nor would she offer any information regarding any application before her department for the use of Avastin in the treatment of brain tumours. “Based on Kent’s MRI’s and radiology reports, and analysis by his surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, Avastin is playing a key role in stabilizing Kent’s tumour,” says Hurford. “Without it, Kent’s tumour will grow and he will die. “So why then,” asks Hurford, “is (everyone) choosing not to help Kent and other brain tumour patients who are forced to go public with their private health issues and fundraise for their lifesaving medical treatments? “Where is the dignity in that?” -- -------------- Politicians don't provide anything, the tax payers do. -- -------------- Politicians don't provide anything, the tax payers do. |

And willing to bet 98% of those 47 million, cars, booze, drugs and living high on the hog maters more than insurance. yep more typical right wing bull****. i was unemployed for a bit when lucent technologies went under but the right wing HATES the middle class. just like canuck just proved. 10% unemployment? no health insurance? good....let 'em die. **** em and their lazy children. if they die in the streets at least the rich can have some entertainment this is PROOF that we need socialized medicine Can't say I felt sorry for them, it is all about priorities and welshing. But at least they had the freedom to chose. oh sure we did. $600/week for unemployment with no health insurance. and canuck's view? **** em. the rich will survive how bad does healthcare suck when you have NONE? Should get insurance if you can't afford the risk. uh huh. and how, precisely. does one do that? the tooth fairy perhaps? what planet do you live on? Now if it is a parapalegic and something more than a drinking or drug habit, well, the governemtn should pick up for that. But for the majority, it is about priorities. With a growing number of retirees that didn't save enough living too high on the hog, now they want socialized medicine ... LMAO. Just greedy selfish SOBs. yep. notice how he froths at the mouth at the idea the middle class should have ANY protections to him, millions unemployed is fine. dying children? great. suffering, disease, poverty? fantastic!! but let's protect the RICH!!! And try to find a basic family physician where I live, freaking near impossible. courtesy of our HMO we had to go 30 miles before we found a doctor who'd graduated from a US medical school. At least you found one. how do you feel about the karachi medical school for women? want your wife to see a doctor who's graduated from that fine instituion? Don't know the place. But medicine, many doctors are just licensed drug pushers anyway. A pill will do ya. then why you bitching? if all you need is a pill, what difference does it make where you get it? but you notice...he favors substandard care for the middle class because that's all they deserve. after all, only the rich should get good healthcare. If you are rational and literate, you can probably diagnose yourself better with the internet. gee. i was just diagnosed with meniere's disease. why not tell me about how you're gonna self diagnose that, genius? hell, i'd been to nursing school and never heard of it. The money is better in your pocket spent on a boat employing people and not government statism and marxism. the US has the most expensive healthcare in the world. guess you forgot about that you paranoid moron. Not at all. When it comes to life and death, no surprise that people want the best and willing to pay for it. too bad we dont get it. the french have a better healthcare system than we do, at half the cost so in your delusional, rush limp ball fairy tale word, what makes a health system 'better'? more cost? higher death rates? it only serves the rich? that what you consider good care? I never understood the liberal bull**** why someone is willing to spend more on better care should not be allowed to because of big fat in your face and up your ass government now wants your wallet. And if some person wants a cadillac plan, why should they not pay a premium? Americans can afford more and get more. I don't see the problem here. Just because some loser ****** is jealous? Envious? Screw them, these are sins not rights. yep, the middle class should just die, right. who needs 'em. But I shouldn't have to pay for some able bodied jack as not contributing because some idiot politician says so. They can shove it. oh. you're a paranoid right wing moron and didn't know that. Your statement is your justification of envy and greed? Sure did. Happens all the time. If my wifes father took a second mortgage out so his wife could go to Portlan OR for a heart surgery Canada would not provide. He was lucky, his house was paid for and cash/investments to cover. more **** the middle class Now, with the Mayo Clinic having done what the Alberta Cancer Board wouldn’t authorize or even explain, but with the tumour unable to be totally removed, the province will now not fund the expensive drug, Avastin, that the Mayo prescribed to keep him alive and keep the remaining tumour from increasing in size — despite the costs of the drug being totally funded by the province for other forms of cancer. oh, yes, american HMO's would NEVER turn down a sick patient's treatment, right? they ALWAYS pay for treatment.. Didn't say your system was perfect either. That is why the rules of such maters need to be open, pbli and readable to a grade 12 graduate level of understanding. ah. so we kill hundreds of thousands of kids that other countries dont...and your view is **** 'em Just that Americans still have a choice. And liberal-statism leftists hate people having choices. we have a choice? care to prove that? care to prove anything obama's doing will change that? |

You missed that one. but you notice...he favors substandard care for the middle class because that's all they deserve. after all, only the rich should get good healthcare. Didn't say that at all. Just make payments to health care like the car, home, boat or alcohol you buy.

In the end, you will only get what you pay for. Maybe less if governemtn overhead is added. In Ottawa, that is 25.2% GA. Pretty inefficient white collar work. The money is better in your pocket spent on a boat employing people and not government statism and marxism. the US has the most expensive healthcare in the world. guess you forgot about that you paranoid moron. Not at all. When it comes to life and death, no surprise that people want the best and willing to pay for it. too bad we dont get it. the french have a better healthcare system than we do, at half the cost Ya, and being 1000's of years older in culture, might have been better thought out. But since I haven't lived in France, don't take this as an endorsement of it. so in your delusional, rush limp ball fairy tale word, what makes a health system 'better'? more cost? higher death rates? it only serves the rich? No you are. There is no pot of gold at the end of Obama's rainbow, just taxation servatude. that what you consider good care? That would take too long to explain. And I don't think you are open enough to hear it. But I will give it a simple view. Universal yes, government oversight, yes. But engineered to prevent governemtn abuse and health care professional abuse. Heavy taxes to those who don't participate. No governemtn skiming. Keep deductabes, it prevents idle housewife and runny nose abuse. Even comes with a collections arm. Don't pay your child support, outstanding fines, jump a fence, no coverage and heavy taxes. There is more.. but will not happen... As this is about governemtn increasing revenue. Always ahs been. Jam it in fast then turn the taxation screws on America. That is what it is really about or the planning would be much better and take years to accomplish. But selfish jack asses like you can't see it. Because you screwed up. Now you want others to pay for it. I never understood the liberal bull**** why someone is willing to spend more on better care should not be allowed to because of big fat in your face and up your ass government now wants your wallet. And if some person wants a cadillac plan, why should they not pay a premium? Americans can afford more and get more. I don't see the problem here. Just because some loser ****** is jealous? Envious? Screw them, these are sins not rights. yep, the middle class should just die, right. who needs 'em. If you look at how Obama and congress is dealing with this recession, that is their attitude. Mine is simple, if banks, governments don't ease off of the middle class, there will be no middle class to support their fat asses in DC or Ottawa. You are just more deperate than others, but don't let it blind you as to who is doing the screwing. It is the corrupt, not the capitalists. Damn, I am a capitalist and I would love to give you a job. But I will not be a capitalist for long if I lose money in a **** assed environment setup by a corrupt government running a huge ponzi scheme. Investors are scared at this as sooner or later good old debt is going to have to be repaid and we dont' want to be tax screwed into losing money. But I shouldn't have to pay for some able bodied jack as not contributing because some idiot politician says so. They can shove it. oh. you're a paranoid right wing moron and didn't know that. Your statement is your justification of envy and greed? Sure did. Happens all the time. If my wifes father took a second mortgage out so his wife could go to Portlan OR for a heart surgery Canada would not provide. He was lucky, his house was paid for and cash/investments to cover. more **** the middle class Your interpretation. Now, with the Mayo Clinic having done what the Alberta Cancer Board wouldn’t authorize or even explain, but with the tumour unable to be totally removed, the province will now not fund the expensive drug, Avastin, that the Mayo prescribed to keep him alive and keep the remaining tumour from increasing in size — despite the costs of the drug being totally funded by the province for other forms of cancer. oh, yes, american HMO's would NEVER turn down a sick patient's treatment, right? they ALWAYS pay for treatment..

Funny, you support the system that is hurting you. Just that Americans still have a choice. And liberal-statism leftists hate people having choices. we have a choice? care to prove that? care to prove anything obama's doing will change that? Ya, if providor A isn't doing good, you can move on to B or C. That will not work in Canada, one arbitary choice, no options. Don't like it so sad, some liberal statist will be happy to remind you to pay up. -- Politicians don't provide anything, the tax payers do. |

Yep, need a law to prevent immature addults having children they can't afford to raise properly. yep. more **** the middle class. every single statement he makes drips hatred for the middle class never occurs to the asshole that 1/2 of all workers make less than the median income. apprently only the rich should have kids. but you notice...he favors substandard care for the middle class because that's all they deserve. after all, only the rich should get good healthcare. Didn't say that at all. Just make payments to health care like the car, home, boat or alcohol you buy. more bull****. how are we supposed to do that when your rich friends raped our 401k's before they laid us all off? oh. that's right. we're supposed to give ALL our money to he rich then let the kids die on the street.

No you are.

You are just more deperate than others, but don't let it blind you as to who is doing the screwing. It is the corrupt, not the capitalists. the capitalists ARE the corrupt ones, idiot. it wasn't the bolsheviks who headed up goldman sachs, lehman bros, etc!!
